The 8th China Visualization and Visual Analytics Conference (ChinaVis 2021) will be held in Wuhan, China, from July 24 to 27, 2021, hosted by China Society of Image and Graphics, Technical Committee on Visualization and Visual Analysis with multiple sponsorships. ChinaVis 2021 solicits two types of papers: regular papers and survey papers, both written in either Chinese or English.
For any questions, please contact paper.chinavis@gmail.com.
Accepted regular papers will be published in the Journal of Visualization for English manuscripts and Journal of Computer-Aided Design & Computer Graphics for Chinese manuscripts.
Regular papers will be reviewed in two rounds. In the first-round review, a paper is conditionally accepted if it is recommended by the reviewers. Authors need to address the issues raised by the reviewers and submit the revised manuscript to the journal submission systems for the second-round review. Papers that meet the revision requirements will be formally accepted. In the past years, the acceptance rate of regular papers was approximately 30%.
For papers with system or technique contributions, authors are recommended to submit additional materials such as a screen-captured video of their system. All submissions must be unpublished original work. If the paper has been reviewed and rejected by other international visualization conferences or journals, the authors can attach past reviews and provide a "Cover Letter" to clarify the improvement of the paper. Each submission will be reviewed anonymously by experts from multiple domains.
The conference uses the Precision Conference System (PCS) system (https://new.precisionconference.com/chinavis) for the first-round review of regular papers. Choose “Regular” paper type in the submission form. Authors are invited to submit the second-round submissions to the Journal of Visualization if the paper is conditionally accepted. Separate submission and formatting guidelines will be sent to authors for the second-round submission.
Manuscripts should be submitted in PDF format. Regular papers in English are required to use the IEEE VGTC conference template (http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~vis/Tasks/camera_tvcg.html) in the first-round review. A regular paper should be no more than 8 pages. For Chinese papers, refer to the formatting guidelines of Journal of Computer-Aided Design & Computer Graphics requirements (http://www.jcad.cn/).
Accepted survey papers will be published in the Journal of Visual Informatics for English manuscripts and Journal of Computer-Aided Design & Computer Graphics for Chinese manuscripts.
Survey papers will be reviewed in a three-stage process: initial two-page sketch, first-round, and the second-round reviews. First, authors submit an initial sketch, which briefly describes the planned survey by outlining the topic, provides the planned structure and outline of the survey, and lists all key references. The length of a sketch is limited to two pages. Second, selected sketch authors are invited to submit a full survey paper for the first-round review. A survey paper is conditionally accepted if it is recommended by reviewers, and the authors need to revise the manuscript to address the issues raised by the reviewers and resubmit to journal submission systems. The papers that meet the revision requirements will be formally accepted.
All submissions must be unpublished original work. If the paper has been reviewed and rejected by other international visualization conferences or journals, the authors can attach the past reviews and provide a “Cover Letter” to clarify the improvement of the paper. Each submission will be reviewed anonymously by experts from multiple domains.
The conference uses the Precision Conference System (PCS) system (https://new.precisionconference.com/chinavis) for the review of initial sketches and first-round submissions. Choose “Survey” paper type in the submission form. Authors are required to submit the second-round submissions to Visual Informatics or Journal of Computer-Aided Design and Computer Graphics. Separate instructions will be sent to authors if the paper is conditionally accepted by the first-round review.
Survey papers in English are required to use the Visual Informatics template requirements (https://www.elsevier.com/authors/author-schemas/latex-instructions). For Chinese survey papers, refer to the Journal of Computer-Aided Design & Computer Graphics requirements (http://www.jcad.cn/)

The 8th China Visualization and Visual Analytics Conference (ChinaVis 2021) will be held in Wuhan from July 24th to 27th, 2021. ChinaVis Poster Program aims to promote communication between scholars in visualization with interactive and dynamic presentation on the latest results and ideas of visualization research. The ChinaVis 2021 Poster Program encourages the submission of any work related to visualization, especially those that have not been officially published and are in progress, or published that can trigger new thinking through visualization.
Poster authors should make the submission by sending an email to chinavisposter@163.com. Each submission includes:
Authors of each poster are required to submit a two-page summary in the IEEE VIS format: http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~vis/Tasks/camera.html。The summary can be written in either Chinese or English. The summary needs to include an introduction of the research motivation, results, findings, illustrations, and a discussion of the broader impact to application domains. It is not necessary to include a comprehensive list of references, but it is required to cite the most relevant literature in the 2-page summary. In addition, we highly recommend the authors to include a video that highlights the research work. The video submission can be made by including an online link to the video.
The orientation of the poster must be portrait (taller than wide), and the dimension may not exceed A0 paper size (841 mm x 1189 mm / 33.1 in x 46.8 in). The language can be either Chinese or English. The design sketch (in PDF format) must be submitted together with the two-page summary.
At least one author of each poster should be registered for the conference and be available at the poster to discuss their work during the poster session. The authors must print the poster and hang the poster at the designated location at the conference venue. During the poster session, the authors should plan to present their work and discuss with attendees. Please bring a laptop to the poster session if you plan to show live demos or videos.
The poster chairs will award a “Best Poster” award to the authors of what is deemed the strongest submission according to the reviewing criteria.
